Jeff Sessions Sends Fundraising Email Signed by White Nationalist Michelle Malkin
While running for the Senate seat he vacated to join the Trump administration, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions sent out a fundraising email signed by white nationalist Michelle Malkin. The email included Malkin’s assurance that “Jeff Sessions understands the dangers of globalism.” (“Globalist” is an antisemitic dog whistle).
Malkin’s history of antisemitism is long and disturbing. She proudly wears the label of “Mommy” to the Groyper movement — a white nationalist group led by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. She recently collaborated with Milo Yiannopoulos on an “America First” reading list that includes Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (perhaps the two most famous antisemitic publications ever circulated). Malkin has also fiercely defended the Proud Boys, a violent hate group.
This came just days after Donald Trump publicly thanked Michelle Malkin on Twitter. Prior to this, the national Republican Party had attempted to distance itself from Fuentes and the Groypers. Trump’s support of, and Session’s partnership with, Malkin marked a departure from the effort to put any daylight between the party and this extremist white nationalist movement.
